Hi Friends:
Recently, I bought a new HTC Rezound and I would like to have your inputs about how can I program/configure my HTC Rezound for Iusacell carrier in Mexico.
I have a HTC Evo 4G with a Iusacell’s line and it’s working perfect.
Can you share with my your experiences and recommendations about it?
• Voice Settings & Configuration
• Data Settings & Configuration
• MMS Settings & Configuration
What tools do you use? (CDMA Workshop, DFS Professional CDMA, QPST, etc.)
Thanks in Advanced for your help
TecMan
HTC Rezound
At XDA we are unable to help you with this unfortunately because it is against the rules here.
You would have no luck with cdma anyway. I have used mine with telcel just fine though.

I'd like to think you can switch SIMs but you may have to use the Venusaur ROM because I know there's a GSM fix in it.

Yea I heard Venasuar is the way to go but I just hope GSM bands wont be an issue getting decent data and voice coverage

The miui Rom would be an alternative to use too.

Eh MIUI never tickled my fancy lol

Mine either but for gsm It's easier. Just load the rom and you're good. It comes up as gsm so you don't have to set it to gsm.

Thanks man. I been thinking about buying a cheap unlocked phone just in case the gsm bands on the rezound aren't supported by whatever carrier I end up using while I'm there. Verizon is too damn expensive on roaming
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
The Rez has all the gsm bands I think except AT&T 3G.
Ah well thats good to know

I live in Denmark (Europe), so the phone has not arrived yet, but when it does I am pretty sure it will be very expensive. The American version (Non Sprint) isn't that cheap either, but it is cheaper, so I have been thinking of buying one and then getting it unlocked.
Is this actually possible, when it doesn't have a SIM card? I found a website which will unlock the phone and I think actually give me the right network?

Well this is just my question, is this actually possible?
Thanks and best regards

Yes it can be flashed to various cdma carriers. I.e. boost, metro, cricket .... Etc
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
but the short answer is no because your European carrier is most likely gsm and therefore not compatible with the CDMA Sprint EVO 3D

Yeah...And anyways...Flashes to other CDMA networks is always messy....Hold out for the GSM version that is supposed to launch in Europe soon?

Or get the sensation. It's the EVO with everything but the 3D
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I do not understand why it's unlock-able, when it's still not possible to use it in other countries that use GSM. Whats the use in unlocking it then? Sorry, but I know nothing about this stuff.

Well that could work too...But the 3vo still runs better than it...
Either way, you'd have to unlock the Sensation from Tmobile then.

Wondering if anyone has confirmed this phone on Boost mobile, would love to use it at a cheaper plan then Verizon.

Doubt it would work.
I'm pretty sure you can't flash a phone with a sim card to another provider. Atleast not with pageplus here.

The SIM is just for LTE though. Not too sure how that would limit the CDMA part from working. The OG Inc was able to go onto boost. There's a thread about it in the Inc general forum.
Not saying it would work, just wondering what would inhibit it from working.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium.
You can flash it and it would work just fine on any CDMA network.
You need to take it to someone that knows how to reprogram it by writing the NVs.
Once you do that you won't need the LTE sim card.
Its real simple. Trust me.

I stand corrected. Apologies.

You'd lose LTE obviously but 3g would still work.

Where is this thread your referring too?
Has anyone successfully ported a Rezound over to boost mobile.
I have one and would be very interested..
Currently using an EVO 4g on boost. But the Rezound would be much better..

If you wanted to go to like T-Mobile or sprint, then there might be interest.

Hi guys
I'm going to purchase HTC rezound, but seller told me that it's Verizon phone. So I've one question about this: Does This device need unlock code to work with other network operators, such as AT&T and so on?
thanx
It will work with other networks. You really don't need to unlock it. Just flash the global RUU and go into network settings and switch to GSM mode.

excellent :victory:
thanx a lot :good:
What he said is true, although the gsm radios as is for the rezound dont work with us domestic carriers for data connection other then edge. To get 3g or better you have to do some modifications to the radio.

It involves some windows programs like dfs and qpst. Don't have time to get into it but you can read about it here if you want. Its still a work in progress, but I've managed to get 3G and HSPA enabled using straight talk att sim with these modifications.

Ok need to switch my rezound to another provider. How is.T-Mobile and do I need the leak of the gsm.update for.global?
What other carriers would be good and have maybe unlimited data? Would T-Mobile speeds be edge or 3g...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Yes you will need the global firmware, and so far it seems to be impossible to get anything other than edge on Tmo. They are refarming their spectrum, so you might have some luck of you're in one of those areas, but I make no promises.

what other carriers do you think are better to go with that have good data speeds?
Not a clue, to be honest. I know they've gotten spotty hspa+ on at&t with some radio recalibration.. I'm not too savvy on playing with radios though, so i never looked too deep into it. Most of the people using prepaid carriers seem like they don't mind edge network.
Just search on Google for like "xda htc rezound on tmobile" or any other carrier you want to see and it'll bring you a decent list of threads. I would recommend the xda search, but I've been doing all my research from mobile browser and Tapatalk, so search results have been hit or miss.
Looks like page plus gets 3g at least. There's a pretty active thread here in the general forums about it. Some people have been using straight talk, also.

thanks I may just use simple mobile as i forgot about them. They use att and tmobile sims... so i could try both out...
I set up my old rezound on straight talk with SIM card for wife. I edited the radio band and it works pretty good for her. Hspa and its around 5mbps where I live.

How did you edit the radio band? Is it easy to do? I am also on the leaked global Rom ice cream sandwich. I read that if you.use titanium back and make apn switcher a system app or just move it maybe to system folder then reboot and you should be able I think to use an apn switcher for mms
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I used dfs cdma workshop. U just need to follow the guide about unlocking north American bands. It is very easy to do. Mms can be a bit goofy at times so I just have my wife use go sms and set the mms apn in there. The phone works pretty good.

update....
went with simple mobile $40 plan. I have edge speeds. Need to wait for Tmobile to refarm that 2g i think for better speeds... Anyone with any ideas as to how to have better speeds? Just a waiting game i think...
OK so I bought a HTC Rezound off of a kid at school for $60. The battery on it is bad, but oh well I knew that before I bought it. So there was no 4G LTE sim cars in there. Do I have to have that to unlock the device and put on another carrier.

You can try activating it with Verizon and they will give you another sim. Hopefully its not red listed.
